Child conscription in Tigray amid Pretoria Pact collapse
Tigray Region in Ethiopia has experienced a surge in violence, as the Tigray People's Liberation Front carries out forced conscription of young people aged 15 to 65, amid an escalation of clashes with government forces. These confrontations have led to the collapse of the Pretoria Peace Agreement, with hostilities resuming since September after drone attacks by the front. Eritrean Defense Forces and Amhara militias have joined the front, forming a new military alliance, which has worsened the humanitarian crisis—reports indicate forced recruitment, targeting of minors, economic blockades, and internal displacement from the region. Government forces have regained control of Mekelle Airport after Tigray forces previously held it, amidst a deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the area.
